US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer welcomes War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz’s call to hold elections in September, after having made a similar call last month, saying early elections should be held when the war winds down, in order to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“When a leading member of Israel’s war cabinet calls for early elections and over 70 percent of the Israeli population agrees according to a major poll, you know it’s the right thing to do,” Schumer tweets.
